hi all,
I just took the plunge from my pre 2 to verizon pre3,
besides all the other issues app size patches etc.
I have 2 issues I didnt see much discussed in the forums, i want to hear any solutions, since i have another few days that i still can return it,

1) i rely on my phone for my alarm clock, both nights on the pre3 i woke up in the morning with my phone off, it was plugged in and fully charged, just off, (and i was late to work)

2) texts and email dont arrive instantly, even when i have good service, could it be that the verizon antenna on the pre3 is worse than on pre2, i never had these issues on the pre 2,

install uber kernel and govnah, I have noticed on my pre3 it sometimes runs CPU at full speed and my discharge faster or thermally run away and turn off if allowed to continue, by checking govnah you can see how fast and how hot it is running. I found it was usually bad contact in ph book and re-sync and reboot fixed it
I use my pre3 as alarm clock and also use battery saver to turn off WiFi when I sleeping, never had problem with it turning off, occasionly it restart by itself but alarms work fine
email and messages arrive a few seconds after they arrive on pc or android.

1) I've had that problem with my Pre+... But based on some tryouts I did I find out that it was the overclocking... If I had my pre+ overclocked it was doing it sometimes in the day, others at night and so on... I removed for a month the overclocking and no turning off at all... but went back to the overclocking due to the speed I was gaining...

On the Pre 3, it has never turned off (some times it just restarts but very rarely)...

Maybe a doctor would help... also check if it has the latest version... when I got my Pre 3 it was on version 2.2.1 and didn't show me any update so I had to force it and doctor it to 2.2.4...

2) Regarding the e-mails can you clarify if they do arrive by themselves after a while or do you need to hit the refresh icon always???

Yes please be more specific to your email and SMS issues, neither are common.

My push gmail has a slight lag sometimes, but it came outta nowhere. SMS is fine, I botched something at one point that required a profile wipe but that was one time in well over three years with many different webOS devices.

I was getting random delays, troubleshot for about a week, same SIM was fine in a Veer, had deleted all sms on pre3 didn't fix delay, tried new palm profile and it worked fine, went back to original profile and all was fixed... Think something got messed up in phone settings, right before it happened I was using patches to tweak setting to save battery, turning things on and off. This was back in October/early November, I need to update my sig

I'm on a VZW Pre 3 as well and I feel you on the SMS delay. I never had trouble with it until a few months ago, but all of the sudden, I noticed my texts were coming in way late (usually around ten minutes) and it has been very frustrating.

For example, say I'm texting my wife about picking up groceries and I send a text at 4:00p, but I her reply doesn't get to me until 4:10p, yet the timestamp says I received it at 4:01p. Very hard to hold a conversation.

And often all my texts from different people will flood in all at once.Say three people sent me texts within a ten minute period (say 4:01, 4:05, and 4:07), but I won't get any of them until 4:10 until they all come at once and it locks my phone up for a moment.

Is this the kind of thing you're experiencing? And has anyone else had this trouble? It's far from the only performance problem I have with my Pre 3...

I have the exact problem with SMS delays in verizon Pre3 for the last few months as well. It happens randomly and usually with the same few persons. I have not found a good reason for it to happen or a reproducible series of events that cause the delay.

I would suggest you both wipe your palm profiles and resign into the same profiles... there is a thread started by me that has a lot of similarities other than being on GSM, but it was all related to something the profile switch fixed
